This is a noob question, but what does a 2step launch do? I've heard of it many times just never understood what it did.

rhythmnsmoke

Cuts ignition (sometimes fuel too), so that you can hold the car at a destined RPM (even if you have your foot at 100% throttle). In the case of having a turbo, it spools the turbo at the line without having to move. I.E....you launch IN boost. Without a 2step, you can not launch in boost, you launch and then have to hit boost if you don't have a 2step.

Only options for us to have 2step launch control, in order of least expensive to most:

- WOT Box

- Emanage Ultimate

- Hydra Standalone

Launching in 2nd I'm pretty sure is not good on the tranny. Compensate that with better tires and increase in rpms.

I still launched in 1st i just never gave WOT in first. I'd just get the ca rmoving and shift to 2nd right away.

My brother was able to run a 12.82 at 112mph doing that on 18" street tires.

thats is with the 2step and flatfoot shifting? thats a good time for street tires.. how much hp does he have btw? around 330-340 at least?

rhythmnsmoke

An electronic BC that can do boost by gear is a plus also.

yamaha16bw

he dyno's at 309whp....10 psi and NO 2step or flatfoot. He can drive for sure. Way better then me.

RSracer

It's called a 2 step becuase you use both feet, you bottom out the clutch and you bottom out the throttle. You 2 step it!

It builds boost prior to launch, as rhythmnsmoke said, by building heat (hot air) on the turbine side of the turbo which is the energy to spin the turbine and produce the pre launch boost. Most people consider this part of the 2 step but this is actually drag style turbo anti-lag, there is also a rally style of anti-lag.

BTW, all of which the AEM EMS is capable of.

youngflyer

how hard is it on the tranny to launch in boost and is it worth getting on a na tc?

ElevationTC

12.8 with 308 hp? is that on a dynopac? impressive.. makes me feel like poop

yamaha16bw

yea 12.8 309whp at 10 psi on a dynopak.

I did 340whp on a dyno pack at 10psi and i did a 13.7 lol

Of course my MPH was 117.....my brothers was 112.

ElevationTC

hmmm... im thinking there may be something up with orlando SPIN world...

yamaha16bw

Orlando spin world?

ElevationTC

the track i went to.. they installed a new computer or something.. and they said they tried setting up all day... but were still a little off.. im woundering what a LITTLE off means

yamaha16bw

lol yea.

My time was at Milan in Detroit. My brothers was a track in Indy.

rhythmnsmoke

You still have to feather the clutch out, otherwise your going to go NOwhere...Fast.
